Abstract

The extent of coarticulation is of central interest to theories of speech production. Knowing the anticipatory and carryover limits of coarticulation will allow us to specify the constant features of a set of speech sounds. Most earlier work has reported on observations of the articulator movement or acoustic result of coarticulation [e.g., B. E. F. Lindblom, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 35, 1773–1781 (1963); S. E. G. Öhman, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 39, 151–168 (1966); P. F. MacNeilage and J. L. DeClerk, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 45, 1217–1233 (1969); R. Daniloff and K. Moll, J. Speech Hear. Res. 11, 707–721 (1968); T. J. Gay, J. Phonetics 2, 255–266 (1974)], The present study is an attempt to define the extent and effects of coarticulation on EMG activity recorded from the tongue and lips for VCV and CVC utterances, and to correlate this activity with the resulting acoustic signal. Preliminary results suggest that carryover effects are more extensive than anticipatory effects. [Supported by NIDR Grant DE-01774.]
